How do you protect your servers against DDoS attacks?

How do you protect your servers against DDoS attacks?
I was advised to have a deal with the company which has narrow specialization in DDoS protection service - ddos-guard.net, have you known them? How do you find their services?

DDoS attacks generally require that the attacker control thousands, countless numbers or millions of computer systems – usually belonging to normal, unaware customers all over the world – and create their own network out of these zombie computer systems.

1. Block the IP addresses from where you are getting high traffic. You can check the locations of IP addresses, if they are from suspicious country which are well know for hacking then you can block the IPs.

2. You should performed the server hardening while setting up your VPS. This process will include setting up various boundaries for server so no one can easily breaks your server security.

3. You should monitor the traffic on your server in regular basis. Because DDOS used to raise the traffic on your server. It will alert that there is suspicious activity going on.

4. Make sure the devices which are connected to your VPS are getting authenticated before connecting to your server. Set the stronger password for them so DDOS attack will be prevented from those devices.

5. Select the required bandwidth for your server. If you will assign the required bandwidth and there is great spike on bandwidth usage then it will be DDOS attack in many situations. So keep your eye on bandwidth of your VPS.

6. Always make sure the applications which you've installed are getting patched when there is new update available.

7. Enable the proxy protection so it will apply the extra security which will keep safe our server from threats. It will hide your real IP address from the hacker.
